We know how hard it is to sift through all the information that’s floating around the internet, trying to figure out what is fake facts and what is really smart advice. This event will give you the perfect opportunity to ask questions knowing you will get answers you can trust, that are underpinned by professional knowledge. As well as answering questions, our expert team will be sharing their thoughts and ideas too. We’ll be talking about, and taking questions about faddy eating, food rejection, baby-led weaning, childcare solutions, nanny life, employment in a home setting and sorting out sleepless nights. We’re looking forward to receiving your questions which can be posted on the form below this message NOW and our panel of experts will be answering them between 10am and 5pm on March 8th.

Haven’t got a specific question? Still dip in and learn some terrific childcare hacks, expert tips and advice.

Do you know how to recognise when your baby is ready for solid foods, and when to leave a solely puree diet behind? When is it the right time to start weaning? The session led by Jill Wheatcroft, Lecturer in Child Health will look at which foods at which stage, and why some should be avoided. You will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of baby-led weaning, how it works and how it differs from the so called ‘traditional’ method of feeding children solids. The session will also explore how to encourage your child to experiment with various foods and there’ll be time for informal discussions about favourite recipes for weaning and your questions.

This session is part of our Feed your Children Well programme which supports developing positive eating habits.
